| Abstract: |
| Objective This meta-analysis explored whether the expression of actin filament-associated protein 1
antisense RNA 1 (AFAP1-AS1) is related to the prognosis and clinicopathological features of patients with
cancer.
Methods PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched. Hazard ratios (HRs)
with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the prognostic value based on overall survival
(OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs
were used to determine the relationships between AFAP1-AS1 and clinicopathological features, such as
large tumor size (LTS), high tumor stage (HTS), poor histological grade (PHG), lymph node metastasis
(LNM), and distant metastasis (DM).
Results Thirty-five eligible articles and 3433 cases were analyzed. High AFAP1-AS1 expression,
compared to low AFAP1-AS1 expression, correlated with significantly shorter OS (HR = 2.15, 95% CI =
1.97–2.34, P < 0.001), DFS (HR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.19–1.57, P < 0.001), and PFS (HR = 1.97, 95% CI
= 1.56–2.50, P < 0.001) in patients with cancer. In various cancers, elevated AFAP1-AS1 expression was
significantly associated with LTS (OR = 2.76, 95% CI = 2.16–3.53, P < 0.001), HTS (OR = 2.23, 95% CI =
1.83–2.71, P < 0.001), and PHG (OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.08–1.79, P = 0.01) but not LNM (OR = 1.59, 95%
CI = 0.88–2.85, P = 0.12) or DM (OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 0.90–3.66, P = 0.10).
Conclusion High AFAP1-AS1 expression was associated with prognostic and clinicopathological
features, suggesting that AFAP1-AS1 is a prognostic biomarker for human cancers. |
